It's got gold, it's a limited edition, it's a grade 7!

BUT it's a 725..... very nice though, very nice indeed

Should all be the same yes but I have a shooting friend who claims there is a difference between 525s or any mass produced guns. He has been shooting all his life so who am Ito argue. Perhaps there are minor differences in fit depending on age. It does not take much to alter the fit of any gun.

200. sorry just could not resist.

Thanks for your help!

Is there any way to see how old the gun is? With some kind of serie number or anything?

My thoughts exactly

went in for a broad trigger for my 725 ( came out with 2 triggers AND a SxS ) the boss was telling us about it as my mate mentioned he had a G5 Hunter and didn't realise they did a G7....they don't apart from these specials for Malmo

Does the 725! Have a different trigger mechanism????

Apparently so. Mechanical trigger as opposed to inertia trigger on 525. I have no experience of these triggers, got the info off the Browning website!

Just Google the code letters. There is a site which will give you an exact year I think the new oiled stock came in 2013.

You could look for a black and gold.

I’d probably sell mine atm as I’m fancying a change.

Always the way, go in for one thing, come out with a new gun. I went to my local RFD a couple of weeks ago to have a look at a 20g Lincoln for the Mrs. Came out with a 12g RS12 for me.

I wonder if they will make a sporting version of that 525, look lovely in my cabinet.

When you are shooting you can't see the gold anyway!

 

David.

Can't see a lot of things like colour of your car when driving it or the hair on your head but you still choose a colour you like and brush your hair have it cut etc.

Buy whatever gun you like the look.of, I couldn't own a gun I didn't like the look of. It would get left in the cabinet.
